Continuous page numbers in Word 2007 document with section breaks

Add the following macro to your document and run it once:

Sub Main()
    On Error Resume Next
    For i = 0 To ActiveDocument.Sections.Count
        ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
        ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
        ActiveDocument.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
    Next i
End Sub

You can add this macro by pressing ALT-F11. That'll open the VBA window. Right click "ThisDocument" and choose "Insert/Module". Copy and paste the code from above, then press F5. This will force every section to continous page numbering.
